Adequate ankle weighting
By The Rod

Comments about Aqua Fill Your Own Set of Ankle Weights Up to 3 LB. Each:
Great, light product to travel with. Upon arrival, we went to the beach and filled them with sand. We didn't have a scale, but I suspect they only weighed around 1 lb each. We used these for cage diving with Great Whites. Could have used a heavier substance to fill them with for this purpose. Easy on and off, and while I thought the sand might wash away, the velcro closure did do a good job of holding it. I think to get up to 3 lbs you would need either lead or steel shot or some other form.

Gets the job done!

About Me Recreational Diver
My wife needed ankle weights because her fins are positively buoyant and she is tiny, but we couldn't find any weights light enough to do the job. These "fill your own" weights were PERFECT for us, she ended up using 1 1/4 pounds per leg after dialing in her buoyancy on several dives. They are well made and after 30 dives no problems have occurred!

a good value after your ankle weights show signs of age. take the weights from the old units and just install in the new sleaves, save some money with very little work.
Needs more adjustment length
By Brink
from San Diego, CA
Used for diving a dry suit in the cold southern California Pacific waters. Needed to be able to adjust weight to get optimal buoyancy and trim. Well made and never "leak shot" like some other fillable weights. However, as noted in another review, they do need an extra inch or two of adjustment. They are really tight over my dry suit, and I am not a big guy.
Great little weights

My wife needed ankle weights to get her trim perfect, but they were all too heavy... this allowed us to fill up our own ankle weights to exactly what she needed (using shot from a torn soft weight sack we already had).Just the ticket if you need lighter weights or want to really nail your trim.
